It was a breakthrough week for Melora Hardin on “Dancing with the Stars.” She got the top judges’ score on both nights of the special two-night event: “Disney Heroes” and “Disney Villains.” For the later, she and her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev danced a jazz routine inspired by the dastardly Mother Gothel from “Tangled,” with Hardin even singing the version of the song “Mother Knows Best” that they danced to.
But it’s not the first time Hardin has played a villain, though that depends on how you look at it. She’s famous for her role as Jan Levinson on “The Office,” who is often considered a villain, though Hardin isn’t so sure. She thinks the character was “hilarious in her incredible seriousness, but I think she is misunderstood.” But the actress still thought it was “time to channel some of that inner Jan Levinson” for her performance as Gothel.
